Abstract:
Pat Roush tells the story of the international kidnapping of her two young daughters and her struggle for almost two decades to get them back. It is the story of a woman's courage, strength, faith and love that triumphs even after betrayal and deception by those she most trusted. Through high stakes politics and international diplomatic intrigue this mother never stops in her mission to free her daughters from their medieval prison in the Middle East. With thirty-two vignettes and illustrations Pat Roush tells the story from the day of the kidnapping and beautifully takes us through this journey filled with passion, sorrow, joy and hope. Sprinkled with a delicate spirituality these stories written in a poetic style speak from the heart of love and faith in the unknown. The hope that she expresses in one day being reunited with her beautiful 'Flowers' fills us all with inspiration and affirmation.
